OK, I have to tell you all some AMAZING news! Something so, so very wonderful to me. And I have to share it with you, of course, my sweet blogging friends!

I did make sure that it was A.O.K. to tell you, but Jenny Doh, Editor-in-Chief & Director of Publishing at Stampington & Company and Somerset Life magazine contacted ME!!!

I have to tell you, I did a double take when I was checking my email. Jenny Doh? Don't I know that name? I glanced over to the Somerset Magazine, Somerset Life in the Subject area. NOW I know who this is!!! What? Emailing little ol' me?

Well, Jenny has requested several pieces of my artwork for TWO different issues of Somerset Life!!!!! What an incredible honor!!! I just had to share my wonderful news with you....my sweet friends that encourage and support me always!

I had already thought that 2008 was the year that I needed to have the confidence to send my work into Somerset magazine for them to consider it. What a wonderful blessing . . .

I want to thank you all for your encouragement. For your sweet words about my work that has truly cheered me on to keep creating. Just like I said before, every one of you are the wind beneath my creative wings!!

About Me

My name is Dawn Edmonson. I'm a wife for 37 years to the same wonderful man, mother to five great boys ranging in age from 35 to 20 years old and grandmother to two precious little girls and two sweet little boys. We have a Devon Rex cat and a crazy little Jack Russell/
Chihuahua mix puppy who will steal your heart.
I love to create one-of-a-kind artwork to sell in my Etsy shop. I enjoy keeping up with my blog and am amazed at the inspiration I get from others blogs and sweet comments that are left for me. I am drawn to all things old, with plenty of character and enjoy using small, antique trinkets in my artwork. Being able to create is truly my bliss.
